q Bolton Man Receives a Bullet ia the
Leg-Federal Court Case.
Special to the Gazette.
WACO, TEX, April 28.-DOC StrOops Of
Bolton, is lying in house at the Atlanta
wagon yard with bullet in his left leg.
The ball was fired from target rife, and
Doc is in no Danger of dying
unless blood poison sets in. Docs
story of the shooting is about as
follows: He was down in South Waco,
near Mr.. j. H. Bagby's residence, auG
bantered one A. L. Hopkins for
8 horse trade. Hopkins consented and
the two traded. Doc says when he
started off Hopkins wanted to declare
the trade off, and called to him
to stop, but Doc only ran faster, and in
the chase he N ,de circuit and was met
by another man whcrlaid in wait for him
and shot him in the leg.
AS soon as Doc came to the city and
notified the officers, Dan Ford, Lee Jen-
kins and A. Y. HughstOn started after
the man who did the shooting. They
struck the trail and between three and
four miles from the city, down the river
road, they captured A. L. Hopkins and
W. NJ. Scott, who were on fpot but max
ing tracks for far off country. Scott
acknowledged to the officers that he
did the shooting. Scott and Hop
XII tells a somewhat different story to
that of Stroops. Stroops agreed to
pap Hopkins $3.50 as bonus on
the trade, but started off with Hop
kins' horse without paying the money,
and when they tried to stop him, he
kept going, and fioally ran through Hop
kins' yard and when ordered to stop by
Scott he would not do so, and the latter
shot him. Scott and Hopkins are in Jail.
The charge against them will be assault
with intent to kill.

titled to & pension and some back pay,
which amounted to S460. Before Wiley
ever received any of the money he died.
Jim West knew that Wiley was entitled to
the money, and he attempted to play the
fox and get it. But the authorities
caught on to Jlm's sly game, and he will
get term in the penitentiary.

CIVIL SERVICE INVESTIGATION.
WASHINGTON, April est Is stated on
authority that the evidence submitted at
the recent ciyfRservIce investigation at
Chicago failed to substsn,iGte the charges
preferred by the Chicago Civil Service
Reform Association against Collector See
berger o. the Chicago custom house,

THE REAL PARNELL LETTER.

X,
LONDON, April IS It transpires that
Gladstone ia his speech at diouer given
by the labor members OF Parliament last
night declared his entire disbelief IN the
accusations against the Irish leaders.
Gladst ne said in DAY, 1882, Immediately
after the assassination OF Lord Frederick
Cavendish and Secretary Burke, in
Ptelix park, PaTneu wrote him & letter
in reference to that crime. The con-
tents Of th5 letter, which was
obviously written under great men
tai distress, threw considerable light
upon the topics of the present hOdr,
sud were strong evidence in favor % the
contradiction OF the Times maiiciousIy
forged letter. ParneI apparently foresaW
that by the public mind he would be as
sociated with the crime, aud offered TO
place himself without reserve in Glad
stones hands. He Troye that he re-
garded the murders with the utm0At 3D.
horrence, and offered 20 resign the Iesders
ship Of the Irish party and retire alto
gether from political Lie f Glad
stone considered sUCl g step advisable

said he would refrain from saying what
reply he made, adding that it was only
I
nell's assent To his mentioning the
matter. He alluded to the advice tens
dered Parnell from certain quarters that
he bring action against the Tories.
Gladstone's statements have caused an
absorbing sensation in the CluDs, but

PACIFIC ROAD INVESTIGATION.
1t R,quires $40. 900 Per Year to Explain
ar Washington.


NEW YORK, April 28.-The following
interesting and entertaining testimony
was given by c. 2. Huntington yesterday
before the Pacific Railroad investigating
committee. Mr.. Huntington stated the
company's lawyer atWashington was paid
$50, 000 per year salary aud was allowed
from $50, 900 TO $4,000 to "explain" to
people in Washington that it was to the
advantage of the public and not the com
pany he was interested in that the com
pany's chemes should be approved in
Congress. General Frsnk Scott was
their counsel for many years.
Their counsel was never asked
what he did with the money nor was he
called upon to produce vouchers. If he
asked for $4,000 he could have it be-
cause witness knew it would be put 30
good use. Mr. Huntington told them
they had no idea how many persons were
in Washington to whom it was necessary
10 "eXplain."
TIE commissioners expressed surprise
that no vouchers were taken for sue
large sums.
The balance sheets published annually
by the company were produced and Mr..
Huntington asked to explain an item of
$62, 900 in the statement for 1883 for ex-
penses. The witness said he could only
offer the same explanation he had given,
That the money was used in 'eXplaining"
things at Washington. The company had
to educate" people in Washington.
The witness was then asked to give
an explanation. He said: "You want
to get Richard Roe, who represents GER
tain district, to do something. You can
not speak to him, so you send into the
district and tell John Doe you want to
speak to him. The witness denied that
money had ever been given to Congress
men to influence them in favor of the
company, but he admitted that the com
pany's counsel had used more money than
usual while Congress was sitting
Some of the money might have
been used in campaign dinners
and cigars. What witness meant by edu-
eating was that the company had to show
the object of bills. They had to tex
plain" to people at Washington that it
was better to build their line on solid
rock than It was to build on piles in San
Francisco bay.
Witness was then questioned as to the
lease of the Central Pacific to the South
ern Pacific, and he answered that he was
interested in both companies and had
recommended the consolidation.
